This document is a supplement to the listing prospectus (the “Listing Prospectus”) of Nokia Oyj (“Nokia” or the “Company”), approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority on October 23, 2015. The journal number of the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority’s decision of approval for the Listing Prospectus is FIVA 85/02.05.04/2015, for the supplement dated November 16, 2015 FIVA 101/02.05.04/2015 and for the supplement dated February 2, 2016 FIVA 1/02.05.04/2016. The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has on February 12, 2016 approved this supplement with the journal number FIVA 9/02.05.04/2016.

The definitions used in this supplement have the same meaning as in the Listing Prospectus, unless otherwise stated. This supplement constitutes a part of the Listing Prospectus and should be read together therewith.

This supplement is prepared due to the announcements and developments that have taken place after the approval of the Listing Prospectus on October 23, 2015, most important of which are listed hereunder, and that have not at the date of this supplement been supplemented to the Listing Prospectus.

SUPPLEMENTS TO THE LISTING PROSPECTUS

Supplements to the cautionary statements

The Listing Prospectus, as supplemented from time to time, and in particular the section “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, contain forward-looking statements which should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere, including the section “Risk Factors” of the Listing Prospectus, Nokia Annual Report, Alcatel Lucent Annual Report, Nokia Interim Report, the unaudited interim report of Nokia for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the unaudited interim report of Nokia for the year ended December 31, 2015, Alcatel Lucent Interim Report, Alcatel Lucent Q3 Interim Report, Alcatel Lucent Q4 Results Release and any other documents that Nokia or Alcatel Lucent have released through their respective stock exchanges. Any forward-looking statements made in this communication are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by Nokia will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Nokia or Nokia’s business or operations. Except as required by law, Nokia undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Shareholders and potential investors should note that all of the information concerning Alcatel Lucent presented in the Listing Prospectus, as supplemented from time to time, and in particular in Annex A, is solely based on publicly available information of Alcatel Lucent included in Alcatel Lucent Annual Report and the Alcatel Lucent Interim Report Alcatel Lucent has filed with the SEC, as well as Alcatel Lucent Q3 Interim Report and Alcatel Lucent Q4 Results Release. Nokia confirms that this information has been accurately reproduced and that as far as Nokia is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by Alcatel Lucent, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.

Supplements to the section “Summary

Elements B.7 and B.9 of the summary is replaced in their entirety with the following information to reflect the respective financial information of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent for the year ended December 31, 2015. Element C.7 is also supplemented with new information. The amended information in the summary has been marked with an asterisk (*).

 

B.7

  Selected historical key financial information  

Nokia

 

The following tables set forth selected consolidated financial information for Nokia. This information is qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, Nokia’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and the unaudited interim report of Nokia for the year ended December 31, 2015, all of which are incorporated by reference into this Listing Prospectus. The selected consolidated historical income statement and statement of cash flow data for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated statement of financial position data as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 have been derived from Nokia’s audited consolidated financial statements for the respective years, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The selected consolidated historical income statement and statement of cash flow data for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015 have been derived from the unaudited interim report of Nokia for the year ended December 31, 2015, prepared in accordance with IFRS.*

 

In September 2013, Nokia announced the sale of substantially all of its Devices & Services Business to Microsoft. Subsequent to the approval for the sale received in the Extraordinary General Meeting in November 2013, Nokia Group has presented Devices & Services Business as discontinued operations. The sale was completed on April 25, 2014. In the consolidated income statement for the year 2013, the financial

results of the Devices & Services Business were reported as discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. The income statement information for the year 2012 were restated accordingly. As of January 1, 2013, Nokia adopted new revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard. As a result, the net pension liabilities and other comprehensive income were impacted mainly by the retrospectively applied elimination of the ’corridor’ approach and financial information for the year 2012 were adjusted accordingly. Thus, the restated information for the year 2012 presented in the following tables is unaudited.

 

On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell its HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG. The sale of HERE was completed on December 4, 2015. In the unaudited consolidated income statement for the financial year ended December 31, 2015, HERE has been reported as discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. The income statement information for the year 2014 were restated accordingly. Thus, the restated consolidated income statement information for the year 2014 presented in the following table is unaudited. HERE has been reported as part of Nokia’s continuing operations in the consolidated financial information for the financial years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.*

In November 2011, Nokia Networks announced its strategy to focus on mobile broadband and services. It also announced an extensive global restructuring program that ultimately resulted in the reduction of its annualized operating expenses and production overhead by over EUR 1.5 billion when the program was completed at the end of 2013. As part of its strategy of focusing on mobile broadband, Nokia Networks also divested a number of non-core businesses.

   

Beginning in 2013, Nokia undertook a series of transactions to transform its business portfolio. On July 1, 2013, Nokia announced the agreement to acquire Siemens’ 50% stake in the companies’ joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks. The purchase price was EUR 1.7 billion and the transaction closed on August 7, 2013. On September 3, 2013, Nokia announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its Devices & Services Business to Microsoft for a total purchase price of EUR 5.44 billion, of which EUR 3.79 billion related to the Sale of the Devices & Services Business and EUR 1.65 billion related to a mutual patent license agreement. In conjunction with the transaction, Nokia established the Nokia Technologies business to focus on technology development and intellectual property rights activities. The transaction significantly strengthened the Company’s financial position and subsequent to the transaction, in 2014, Nokia started the optimization of its capital structure and recommenced dividend payments, distributed excess capital to shareholders and reduced its interest-bearing debt.

   

On April 15, 2015, Nokia continued its transformation with the announcement that it had signed an agreement to acquire Alcatel Lucent through the Exchange Offer on the basis of 0.5500 Nokia Shares for each Alcatel Lucent Share. In conjunction with this announcement, Nokia announced that it has suspended its capital structure optimization program effective immediately. On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell HERE to an automotive industry consortium and estimates that

it will receive net proceeds of slightly above EUR 2.5 billion. The transaction was completed on December 4, 2015.* On October 29, 2015, Nokia announced a planned EUR 7 billion program to optimize Nokia’s capital structure and return excess capital to shareholders, subject to the closing of the Alcatel Lucent and HERE transactions, as well as the conversion of all Nokia and Alcatel Lucent convertible bonds.

   

Nokia obtained control of Alcatel Lucent on January 4, 2016 when the interim results of the successful initial Exchange Offer were announced by the AMF with a shareholding of 76.31% of the share capital and at least 76.01% of the voting rights. On January 14, 2016, the combined operations of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent commenced. On the same day, Nokia reopened the Exchange Offer. The results of the reopened offer period in the Exchange Offer were published on February 10, 2016 and as a result, Nokia holds 91.25% of the share capital and at least 91.17% of the voting rights of Alcatel Lucent.*

On June 19, 2013, Alcatel Lucent announced the Shift Plan, a detailed three-year plan to transform itself into a specialist provider of IP and Cloud Networking and Ultra-Broadband Access. As part of this process, effective from July 1, 2013, Alcatel Lucent implemented a new organization composed of three reportable segments: Core Networking, Access and Other.

   

The Shift Plan has targeted investments in Core Networking businesses (including IP Routing, IP Transport, IP Platforms and associates services), increasing segment operating cash flow from the Access segment, and technological partnerships. The Shift Plan has also focused on market diversification and rightsizing Alcatel Lucent’s cost structure. In particular, the Shift Plan aims to reduce Alcatel Lucent’s fixed-cost base by EUR 950 million in 2015 compared to its 2012 cost base. Alcatel

Lucent has stated that it expects that the cumulative amount of restructuring cash outlays pursuant to the Shift Plan should be approximately EUR 1.8 billion, of which approximately EUR 1.4 billion will be incurred between 2013 and 2015, with the remainder in 2016.

 

In addition, Alcatel Lucent has completed multiple dispositions as part of the Shift Plan and re-profiled and reduced the financial debt of the company.

 

Nokia obtained control of Alcatel Lucent on January 4, 2016 when the interim results of the successful initial Exchange Offer were announced by the AMF with a shareholding of 76.31% of the share capital and at least 76.01% of the voting rights. On January 14, 2016, the combined operations of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent commenced. On the same day, Nokia reopened the Exchange Offer. The results of the reopened offer period in the Exchange Offer were published on February 10, 2016 and as a result, Nokia holds 91.25% of the share capital and at least 91.17% of the voting rights of Alcatel Lucent.*

The information under the section “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Nokia — Recent Developments” on pages 252–253 of the Listing Prospectus is supplemented with the following information:

On February 10, 2016, Nokia announced the results of its successful reopened Exchange Offer for Alcatel Lucent Securities. Nokia will hold 91.25% of the share capital of Alcatel Lucent, following the settlement of the Alcatel Lucent Securities tendered into the reopened offer, which is expected to occur on February 12, 2016. This equates to Nokia holding 88.07% of the share capital of Alcatel Lucent on a fully diluted basis.

Nokia confirmed that it will issue approximately 321 million new Nokia Shares as consideration for the Alcatel Lucent Securities that have been tendered into the reopened Exchange Offer. Nokia expects to register these new Nokia Shares with the Finnish Trade Register on February 12, 2016. After the registration, the total number of Nokia Shares will equal approximately 5 769 million shares. The trading in the new Nokia Shares is expected to commence on February 15, 2016.

Assuming the conversion of all remaining outstanding Alcatel Lucent Securities into Nokia Shares at the exchange ratio offered in the Exchange Offer, the total number of Nokia Shares would equal approximately 6 billion shares.

On February 10, 2016, Nokia announced that the USD 1.85 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued by Alcatel Lucent USA Inc., comprising the USD 650 million 4.625% notes due July 2017, USD 500 million 8.875% notes due January 2020 and USD 700 million 6.750% notes due November 2020, had been redeemed in accordance with terms and conditions of the notes. Alcatel Lucent USA Inc. is a subsidiary of Alcatel Lucent S.A.

Table of Contents

The redemption was part of Nokia’s EUR 7 billion capital structure optimization program announced on October 29, 2015, which focuses on, among other things, reducing interest-bearing liabilities of the combined Nokia and Alcatel Lucent by approximately EUR 2 billion.

Alcatel Lucent S.A. had also on February 9, 2016 terminated its EUR 504 million revolving credit facility. Following these transactions all debt items in the Combined Company capital structure are based on investment grade documentation and have no financial covenants.

On February 11, 2016, Nokia announced that, as of the first quarter 2016, Nokia expects to align its financial reporting under two areas: the Networks business and Nokia Technologies. The Networks business will be comprised of four business groups: Mobile Networks, Fixed Networks, Applications & Analytics and IP/Optical Networks. Nokia Technologies will continue to operate as a separate business group, with a clear focus on licensing and the incubation of new technologies, and will include the licensing and portfolio management operations from Alcatel Lucent. In addition, Nokia expects to operate the undersea cables business, Alcatel Lucent Submarine Networks (ASN), and the antenna systems business, Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), as separate entities and plans to report ASN and RFS as part of Group Common Functions.

Annual operating cost synergies

  

Approximately EUR 900 million of net operating cost synergies to be achieved in full year 2018

 

Compared to the combined non-IFRS operating costs of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent for full year 2015. Expected to be derived from a wide range of initiatives related to operating expenses and cost of sales, including:

       

    •  

  

Streamlining of overlapping products and services, particularly within the Mobile Networks business group;

       

    •  

  

Rationalization of regional and sales organizations;

       

    •  

  

Rationalization of overhead, particularly within manufacturing, supply-chain, real estate and information technology;

       

    •  

  

Reduction of central function and public company costs; and

       

    •  

  

Procurement efficiencies, given the Combined Company’s expanded purchasing power.

Due to the very recent acquisition of Alcatel Lucent, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook for the new combined Networks business at the present time, and intends to provide its full year outlook in conjunction with its Q1 results announcement. Q1 2016 net sales and non-IFRS operating margin are expected to be influenced by factors including:

       

    •  

  

A flattish capex environment in 2016 for Nokia’s overall addressable market;

       

    •  

  

A declining wireless infrastructure market in 2016, with a greater than normal seasonal decline in Q1 2016;

       

    •  

  

Competitive industry dynamics;

       

    •  

  

Product and regional mix;

       

    •  

  

The timing of major network deployments; and

       

    •  

  

Execution of integration and synergy plans.

Full year 2016 net sales

  

Not provided

 

Due to risks and uncertainties in determining the timing and value of significant licensing agreements, Nokia believes it is not appropriate to provide an annual outlook.

Factors that are outside Nokia’s influence affecting the outlook relate mainly to a flattish capex environment in 2016 for Nokia’s overall addressable market, a declining wireless infrastructure market in 2016, with greater than normal seasonal decline in Q1 2016, competitive industry dynamics, product and regional mix, and the timing of major network deployments. Additional risk factors can be found in the section “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Operating Environment, Business and Financing of Nokia”.

In September 2013, Nokia announced the sale of substantially all of its Devices & Services Business to Microsoft. Subsequent to the approval for the sale received in the Extraordinary General Meeting in November 2013, Nokia Group has presented Devices & Services Business as discontinued operations. The sale was completed on April 25, 2014. In the consolidated income statement for the year 2013 the financial results of the Devices & Services Business were reported as discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. The income statement information for the year 2012 were restated accordingly. As of January 1, 2013 Nokia adopted new revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard. As a result, the net pension liabilities and other comprehensive income were impacted mainly by the retrospectively applied elimination of the ’corridor’ approach and financial information for the year 2012 were adjusted accordingly. Thus, the restated information for the year 2012 presented in the following tables is unaudited.

On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell its HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG. The sale of HERE was completed on December 4, 2015. In the unaudited consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2015, HERE has been reported as discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. The income statement information for the year 2014 was restated accordingly. Thus, the restated consolidated income statement information for the year 2014 presented in the following table is unaudited. HERE has been reported as part of Nokia’s continuing operations in the consolidated financial information for the financial years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.*

Significant Change in Financial Condition or Operating Results

In November 2011, Nokia Networks announced its strategy to focus on mobile broadband and services. It also announced an extensive global restructuring program that ultimately resulted in the reduction of its annualized operating expenses and production overhead by over EUR 1.5 billion when the program was completed at the end of 2013. As part of its strategy of focusing on mobile broadband, Nokia Networks also divested a number of non-core businesses.

Beginning in 2013, Nokia undertook a series of transactions to transform its business portfolio. On July 1, 2013, Nokia announced the agreement to acquire Siemens’ 50% stake in the companies’ joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks. The purchase price was EUR 1.7 billion and the transaction closed on August 7, 2013. On September 3, 2013, Nokia announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its Devices & Services Business to Microsoft for a total purchase price of EUR 5.44 billion, of which EUR 3.79 billion related to the Sale of the Devices & Services Business and EUR 1.65 billion related to a mutual patent license agreement. In conjunction with the transaction, Nokia established the Nokia Technologies business to focus on technology development and intellectual property rights activities. The transaction significantly strengthened the Company’s financial position and subsequent to the transaction, in 2014, Nokia started the optimization of its capital structure and recommenced dividend payments, distributed excess capital to shareholders and reduced its interest-bearing debt.

On April 15, 2015, Nokia continued its transformation with the announcement that it had signed an agreement to acquire Alcatel Lucent through the Exchange Offer on the basis of 0.5500 Nokia Shares for each Alcatel Lucent Share. In conjunction with this announcement, Nokia announced that it has suspended its capital structure optimization program effective immediately. On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell HERE to an automotive industry consortium and estimates that it will receive net proceeds of slightly above EUR 2.5 billion. The sale of HERE was completed on December 4, 2015.* On October 29, 2015, Nokia announced a planned EUR 7 billion program to optimize Nokia’s capital structure and return excess capital to shareholders, subject to the closing of the Alcatel Lucent and HERE transactions, as well as the conversion of all Nokia and Alcatel Lucent convertible bonds.

Nokia obtained control of Alcatel Lucent on January 4, 2016 when the interim results of the successful initial Exchange Offer were announced by the AMF with a shareholding of 76.31% of the share capital and at least 76.01% of the voting rights. On January 14, 2016, the combined operations of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent commenced. On the same day, Nokia reopened the Exchange Offer. The results of the reopened offer period in the Exchange Offer were published on February 10, 2016 and as a result, Nokia holds 91.25% of the share capital and at least 91.17% of the voting rights of Alcatel Lucent.*

Sufficiency of Working Capital

In the opinion of Nokia’s management, the working capital available to Nokia is sufficient to cover its present needs for the next 12 months following the date of this Listing Prospectus.

In order to evaluate Nokia’s working capital needs after the Acquisition, Nokia has prepared financial projections assuming the combination of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent and excluding the HERE business. Based on these financial projections, Nokia anticipates that the combination of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent will not adversely impact the sufficiency of working capital for the Combined Company.

Alcatel Lucent

Shareholders and potential investors should note that all of the information concerning Alcatel Lucent presented in the Listing Prospectus, as supplemented from time to time, and in particular in Annex A, is solely based on publicly available information of  Alcatel Lucent included in Alcatel Lucent Annual Report and the Alcatel Lucent Interim Report Alcatel Lucent has filed with the SEC, as well as Alcatel Lucent Q3 Interim Report and Alcatel Lucent Q4 Results Release. Nokia confirms that this information has been accurately reproduced and that as far as Nokia is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by Alcatel Lucent, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.*

Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Information for Alcatel Lucent

For information about Alcatel Lucent’s selected historical consolidated financial information, refer to sections “Alcatel Lucent consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2014” of the Alcatel Lucent Annual Report on pages A-197 to A-201 of Annex A and pages 2 to 5 of the Alcatel Lucent Q4 Results Release.*

Significant Change in the Financial Condition or Operating Results

On June 19, 2013, Alcatel Lucent announced the Shift Plan, a detailed three-year plan to transform itself into a specialist provider of IP and Cloud Networking and Ultra-Broadband Access. As part of this process, effective from July 1, 2013, Alcatel Lucent implemented a new organization composed of three reportable segments: Core Networking, Access and Other.

The Shift Plan has targeted investments in Core Networking businesses (including IP Routing, IP Transport, IP Platforms and associates services), increasing segment operating cash flow from the Access segment, and technological partnerships. The Shift Plan has also focused on market diversification and rightsizing Alcatel Lucent’s cost structure. In particular, the Shift Plan aims to reduce Alcatel Lucent’s fixed-cost base by EUR 950 million in 2015 compared to its 2012 cost base. Alcatel Lucent has stated that it expects that the cumulative amount of restructuring cash outlays pursuant to the Shift Plan should be approximately EUR 1.8 billion, of which approximately EUR 1.4 billion will be incurred between 2013 and 2015, with the remainder in 2016.

In addition, Alcatel Lucent has completed multiple dispositions as part of the Shift Plan and re-profiled and reduced the financial debt of the company.

On January 5, 2016, the final results of the initial offer period in the Exchange Offer were published, and Nokia gained control of Alcatel Lucent with a shareholding of approximately 70.52% on a fully diluted basis. On January 14, 2016, the combined operations of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent commenced. On the same day Nokia reopened the Exchange Offer. The results of the reopened offer period in the Exchange Offer were published on February 10, 2016, and according to them Nokia will hold approximately 88.07% of the share capital of Alcatel Lucent on a fully diluted basis.*

Supplements relating to the approval by the Nokia Board of Directors of the Equity Program for 2016 and the issuance of shares held by Nokia

The below supplement updates, in particular, the sections “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Nokia — Recent Developments” on pages 252–253 of the Listing Prospectus and “Shares and Share Capital — Nokia — Stock Options, Equity Compensation and Other Special Rights Entitling to Shares on pages 318–323 of the Listing Prospectus.

On February 11, 2016, Nokia announced that its Board of Directors has approved Nokia’s equity program for 2016 (the “Equity Program 2016”). In line with previous years, the Equity Program 2016 includes the following equity instruments:

An employee share purchase plan for Nokia employees in selected jurisdictions (the “Employee Share Purchase Plan”), entitling the eligible employees to contribute a part of their salary to purchase Nokia Shares. After a 12-month holding period, Nokia will offer the employees one matching share for every two purchased shares held by the employee at the end of the holding period;

Performance shares, which are dependent on the achievement of independent performance criteria (“Performance Shares”); and

Restricted shares, which are used on a limited basis or in exceptional retention and recruitment circumstances (“Restricted Shares”).

Equity Program 2016

The Equity Program 2016 is designed to support and align the participants’ focus with Nokia’s strategy and long-term success. Employees of Alcatel Lucent, who have transferred to Nokia as part of the acquisition of Alcatel Lucent, are also eligible to participate in the Equity Program 2016.

Nokia uses Performance Shares as the main long-term incentive vehicle with the intention of effectively contributing to the long-term value creation and sustainability of the Nokia and to align interests of the employees with those of Nokia’s shareholders. Performance Shares are also designed to ensure that the overall equity-based compensation is based on performance, while also supporting the recruitment and ensuring retention of vital talent for the future success of Nokia.

Restricted Shares are granted on a limited basis for exceptional purposes related to retention and recruitment, primarily in the United States, to ensure Nokia is able to retain and recruit vital talent for the future success of Nokia.

Since 2014, stock options have no longer been part of Nokia’s equity programs.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

Under the Employee Share Purchase Plan, the eligible Nokia employees may elect to make monthly contributions from their net salary to purchase Nokia Shares. Participation in the plan is voluntary.

The annual minimum and maximum contribution limit to the Employee Share Purchase Plan is EUR 180 and EUR 1 200, respectively. Generally, the share purchases will be made at market value on pre-determined dates on a monthly basis during a 12-month period. In October 2017, Nokia intends to deliver one matching share for every two purchased shares that the participant still holds on July 31, 2017, which marks the end of the Employee Share Purchase Plan cycle for 2016. The aggregate maximum amount of contributions that employees can make during the enrolment window for the plan cycle commencing in 2016 will be approximately EUR 60 million, which equals approximately 11 494 253 Nokia Shares using the February 8, 2016 Nokia closing price of EUR 5.22 on Nasdaq Helsinki. Based on the matching ratio of one matching share for every two purchased shares, the number of matching shares would be approximately 5 747 126. In addition, to welcome employees of Alcatel Lucent who have transferred to Nokia as part of the acquisition of Alcatel Lucent and to mark the beginning of the new Nokia Group, Nokia intends to offer 20 free shares for every participant making the first three consecutive share purchases in 2016.

Table of Contents

The Employee Share Purchase Plan is planned to be offered to Nokia employees in up to 54 countries for the plan cycle commencing in 2016. The savings period is intended to start in July 2016 and the first monthly purchases are planned to be made in August 2016.

Performance Shares

Under the Performance Share plan, target pay-out will depend on whether independent performance criteria have been met by the end of the performance period. The performance criteria are Nokia’s continuing operations average annual non-IFRS net sales and average annual non-IFRS earnings per share (diluted).

The Performance Share plan of 2016 has a two-year performance period (2016–2017) and a subsequent one-year restriction period. The number of Performance Shares to be settled after the restriction period will start at 25% of the grant amount and any pay-out beyond this will be determined with reference to the financial performance during the two-year performance period. The grant under the Performance Share plan could result in an aggregate maximum pay-out of 51 million Nokia Shares, in the event that maximum performance against all the performance criteria is achieved.

Restricted Shares

The Restricted Shares under the 2016 Restricted Share plan are divided into three tranches, each tranche consisting of one third of the Restricted Shares granted. The first tranche has a one-year restriction period, the second tranche a two-year restriction period, and the third tranche a three-year restriction period. The grant of Restricted Shares in 2016 could result in an aggregate maximum payout of 1 350 000 Nokia Shares.

Employees covered by the Equity Program 2016

In accordance with the previous year’s practice, the primary equity instruments granted to executive employees and directors below the executive level are Performance Shares.

Nokia limits the use of Restricted Shares as means of compensation. However, to support the specific needs, practices and competitive market environment in the United States, restricted shares may be used, in conjunction with the use of performance shares, on a limited basis in the United States.

In addition, shares under the Restricted Share plan can be granted for exceptional retention or recruitment purposes, aimed primarily at US markets, to ensure Nokia is able to retain and recruit vital talent for the future success of Nokia.
